I am in perfect agreement with you Lee. Without lube, the lead fouling is evident even after a couple of shots.
I also do not think that the lube in any way prevents chainfire, a ball of the correct size will be a tight fit in the cylinder and makes an excellent seal.
Something must be very seriously wrong for chainfire to occur, the chances of this happening under normal circumstances must be close to zero.
